    Billing Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    We were referred to Northern Pharmacy (hereafter referred to as NP) by ***** ******* (JH) to order a new Tribute custom nighttime lymphedema garment from L&R for my wife to replace her current garment. After measurement, NP ordered an off-the-shelf garment from L&R (The Tribute WRAP) and not the custom (Tribute Nighttime) garment. At delivery, my wife noted that this garment did not resemble what she currently has and that it did not appear to fit. She was asked to take the garment home to see if it would work. It did not.m Te garment was too small and the outer cover ripped the second day. We had to pay out of pocket for a seamstress to restock the outer cover so that it could be used. After further research with the manufacturer (L&R), I was able to determine that NP had ordered the completely wrong item - an off-the-shelf arm sleeve but yet they billed our insurance for a custom garment, outer over, and glove. We spoke multiple times to Northern Pharmacy about their mistake and asked that the item be returned and to order the correct custom garment. We were told that the off-the-shelf garment is not returnable and that it could not be exchanged for the correct custom garment because the custom costs many thousands of dollars more. Both of these statements are lies. I spoke to the manufacturer L&R to their design center (###-###-#### or ***************************.com) and the off-the-shelf can be returned within 6 months under warranty. Also, the off the shelf street price is ~$220 and the custom garment cash pay cost is ~$700. NP billed out Insurance for $960 for a custom garment ands paid a captivated in network rate of $506. After many calls to NP, the only thing they were willing to do was to order a new larger off-the-shelf garment but at pickup the garment appeared to be previously used so we rejected picking it up.

    Northern Pharmacy used to be one of the best pharmacies in the state. When Andrew was my pharmacist, I had the best care and the fastest fill of my medications. He took the time to understand my serious medical needs. However, the pharmacy changed staff several times and closed the satellite locations. Kelly is rude, offensive, and despises disabled patients. She hangs up the phone. Northern Pharmacy does nothing to address the issue. In fact, Northern no longer cares about customers who have used the pharmacy for several years. It's obvious why they continually lose customers. The once great care is long gone. Kelly needs sensitivity training. She has zero comprehension of the needs of a severely disabled patient. I filed a requested review from the state pharmacy board of Northern Pharmacy. If disabled, Mike's and other independent pharmacies still provide exceptional care if in that region. I have notified all of my doctors (over 10 doctors). They will no longer recommend the pharmacy. Northern is just as bad as big pharmacies. They no longer care about long-term customers. I have had a **** *** * ***. I have several neurodegenerative conditions, including *********'s. Don't expect your medicine to be delivered. Kelly especially. She intentionally hangs up the phone. You risk your life with this pharmacy. Avoid it.
